The Bridge of Rabies (in Basque, Errabiaren zubia or Zubiriko zubia) is a crossing over the Arga River, very close to the Navarrese town of Zubiri. The name Zubiri means "the town of the bridge" in Basque.
This bridge is located on the French Way of the Camino de Santiago, which provides access to the town from Roncesvalles.
It may have once been a livestock trail, of which oral tradition and the name remain: a reference to the supposed curative properties against rabies in any animal that crossed it. These curative properties were felt when an animal circled the central pillar of the bridge three times. These properties were attributed to the discovery of the mortal remains of Saint Quiteria (patron saint against rabies).
Recording made from the central pillar of the bridge.
